Re: [PORTS] Compile error: command not found - 05-02-2008 , 12:17 PM

well, after I unzipped and untarred the source,

I changed dir into the postgres-8.3.1 dir and executed:

$: ./configure

when complete, did

$: gmake

which took a while, and then did

$: gmake install

I did all of this as per the instructions in the pgsql manual for ver.
8.3.1. When the install completed, I was told the postgres was
successfully installed on my system

But if there is a problem with $PATH environment var, it looks like
there are some other instructions I can follow. I will try those in
the meantime.

Either you forgot the "make install" step, or it installed the programs
into someplace that isn't in your $PATH.

No need, I got it to run! I followed the directions in the manual on
how to set the environment variables correctly, and after I did that,
presto!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my problem!

That did it! Thanks for the help.
Now, I'm trying to setup the data cluster, so I use:

initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

as the postgres user but the shell tells me that the 'initdb' does not
exist.

I rebooted the computer and tried it again, but still won't work.

Please write to an appropriate mailing list for user support.
